    Lexington’s Choice: Linda Gorton vs. Raquel Carter

    Lexington chooses its next mayor on November 3, and the race is down to incumbent Mayor Linda Gorton and challenger Raquel Carter. In this episode of WTF LEX!?, I take a deep look at BOTH candidates — their backgrounds, experience, records, campaign money, major policy differences, and the questions Lexington voters are asking before Election Day. Linda Gorton brings decades of public-service experience, including 16 years on the Urban County Council, four years as vice mayor, and nearly eight years as mayor. Raquel Carter comes from a real-estate and business background, has served on Lexington’s Board of Adjustment and the Kentucky Real Estate Commission, and is making her first run for elected office. We break down: • Gorton’s record versus Carter’s call for change • Lexington’s snow and ice response — and both candidates’ new plans • The city’s housing shortage and the Urban Service Boundary • Carter’s real-estate background and questions about potential conflicts • Flock license-plate cameras, outside agency searches, privacy and public safety • ONE Lexington, falling violent-crime numbers, grants and accountability • Affordable housing spending and what the numbers actually show • The proposed new Government Center and its long-term cost • Data centers and where the candidates actually differ • Homelessness, roads and basic city services • Campaign contributions from developers, real-estate interests, horse-industry donors and others • What the mayor actually controls — and what falls outside the office’s authority I also go through feedback from WTF LEX!? followers after asking what THEY wanted answered. Some support Gorton because of her experience and record. Others support Carter because they believe Lexington needs new leadership. And plenty of people aren’t particularly excited about either option. Several claims from the comment section also get fact-checked, because opinions are opinions — but facts still matter. This episode is NOT an endorsement of Linda Gorton or Raquel Carter. The goal is simple: Know who you’re voting for. Know their records. Know their promises. Know who is financing their campaigns. And save those promises, because accountability shouldn’t end when the election does. Sources used for this episode include Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government records, Kentucky election and campaign-finance records, Kentucky Real Estate Commission records, WKYT, WUKY, Lexington Herald-Leader, Lexington Times, candidate websites and other publicly available records.

    WTF LEX!? — Follow the Money: ONE Lexington, NoCAP Grants & the Good Ol' Boys Club

    Taxpayer money. Personal connections. Locked gates. Online threats. And a whole lot of unanswered questions. In this episode of WTF LEX!?, Ole Gerg takes a deeper look at ONE Lexington, its NoCAP grant program, and the organizations receiving funding through Lexington's violence prevention initiatives. What started as questions about ONE Lexington Director Devine Carama has escalated into a public dispute involving community advocate Corey Dunn, personal accusations, alleged threats, and growing questions about approximately $200,000 in grant funding. WHERE THE HELL IS THE MONEY GOING? FOLLOWING THE MONEY Ole Gerg visits addresses associated with several reported NoCAP grant recipients and shares what he discovered. 454 Fitness: Reportedly associated with Tara Dunn, wife of Corey Dunn. A visit to its listed Payne Street address revealed a locked gate, no visible business signage, and questions about current operations. Club Z! Tutoring: A listed address led to a UPS Store on Newtown Pike. Is it a mailing address, or something else? JK-47 Productions and Amber Smith Consulting: Questions remain about business locations, activities, and grant-funded services. Evolve 2 Perform: Another grant recipient examined during the investigation. The Voyage Movement: Additional questions about organizational relationships and connections within Lexington's community advocacy network. These observations do not establish wrongdoing, but they raise questions worth investigating. WHO'S WATCHING THE MONEY? Who approves NoCAP grants?What qualifications must recipients meet?Are personal connections and potential conflicts of interest disclosed?Does anyone verify that grant-funded programs are operating?How are expenditures and services documented?Can taxpayers review applications, scoring, and financial reports?Ole Gerg discusses plans to seek additional records through the Community Action Council to better understand the approval and oversight process. WHEN ACCOUNTABILITY GETS PERSONAL The episode also addresses the escalating Facebook controversy involving Corey Dunn, allegations about Ole Gerg and his family, and alleged threats connected to the dispute. Disagreeing with someone's reporting is one thing. Attempting to intimidate someone for asking questions is another. PUBLIC MONEY DESERVES PUBLIC SCRUTINY. PERIOD. THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES This episode combines firsthand observations, publicly available information, allegations, and opinion. Nothing presented establishes that any individual or organization committed fraud or other wrongdoing. If these programs are delivering results, let's see the documentation. If the grant process is transparent, let's see the records. And if the questions make people uncomfortable? TOO F*****G BAD. WE'RE ASKING ANYWAY. Have information about ONE Lexington or NoCAP grants?

    What Exactly Are We Preventing? | ONE Lexington & the Charles Young Park Shooting

    A community celebration at Charles Young Park turned deadly on August 15, 2026, when gunfire left five people shot, including a 4-year-old child, a 14-year-old, two adults, and 16-year-old Di’Zhon Robertson, who died from his injuries. In this episode of WTF LEX!?, we look beyond the initial headlines and ask what was happening before the bullets started flying. 18-year-old Jametrius Griffin has been charged with murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and tampering with physical evidence. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $1 million bond. The charges are allegations, and Griffin is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. But this episode isn't just about the criminal case. It's also about ONE Lexington. Di’Zhon reportedly participated in ONE Lexington's No Cap program. ONE Lexington Director Devine Carama was at Charles Young Park when the shooting erupted and described trying to protect young people as gunfire broke out. And reporting and social-media posts following the shooting indicate there may have been a conflict involving people connected to the case that stretched back months. That's where Lexington's own records become important. An LFUCG Internal Audit describes youth conflict mediation, crisis response, and violence-intervention meetings as part of ONE Lexington's work. In 2023 alone, the audit says ONE Lexington facilitated 16 youth conflict mediations involving disputes with the potential to escalate into violence, deployed advocates 31 times, and conducted more than 40 violence-intervention meetings. LFUCG also confirmed through an open-records response that this January 2025 report is the only completed final internal audit of ONE Lexington. So we're asking: Did ONE Lexington know about this conflict before August 15? If they knew, was there an intervention? If they didn't know, why didn't an allegedly months-long conflict reach Lexington's violence-intervention network? And if nobody ever gave ONE Lexington an opportunity to intervene, that's an important answer too. We also examine what Lexington's internal auditors found when they reviewed ONE Lexington—including two high-priority financial-control findings—and the explanations and corrective actions provided by Director Devine Carama. This isn't about blaming ONE Lexington for someone pulling a trigger. It's about examining a taxpayer-funded violence-prevention program against its stated mission and asking a simple question: What exactly are we preventing? WTF LEX!? Real events. Real accountability. Real Lexington. Topics: Charles Young Park shooting • Di’Zhon Robertson • Jametrius Griffin • ONE Lexington • Devine Carama • East End Day • No Cap • Lexington gun violence • LFUCG Internal Audit • youth violence prevention • conflict mediation • Lexington, Kentucky This episode discusses an ongoing criminal case. Criminal charges are allegations. The accused is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

    The Shot They Called an Accident: The Death of Tony Sullivan

    On October 25, 1994, five Lexington police officers entered a home to arrest 18-year-old Antonio “Tony” Sullivan. Police found him hiding inside a closet. Sullivan emerged unarmed and, according to later accounts, with his hands raised. Lexington Police Sergeant Phil Vogel’s 9mm pistol discharged while Vogel was reportedly attempting to de-c**k the weapon. The bullet struck Sullivan in the head, killing him at the scene. Police called the shooting accidental. A Fayette County grand jury declined to indict Vogel, and federal investigators reportedly reached the same conclusion. Vogel left the department around the time of the grand-jury decision, and a wrongful-death settlement later existed. But more than thirty years later, many of the records needed to independently evaluate the official explanation remain unavailable—including the complete police investigation, firearms examination, internal-affairs report, autopsy file, grand-jury evidence and FBI closing records. In this special WTF LEX!? × Buried in the Bluegrass crossover, Ole Gerg examines: The fatal shooting of Tony SullivanThe disputed eyewitness accountThe official accidental-discharge explanationLexington’s October 1994 protests and civil unrestThe racial tensions surrounding the caseHow local and national media framed the storyThe police, grand-jury and federal investigationsVogel’s departure from the departmentThe later wrongful-death settlementThe major records and evidence still missingA bizarre 2014 incident involving Vogel and his wifeThe episode separates documented facts, official claims, disputed accounts and personal opinion while asking one central question: Why was a loaded police weapon being manipulated while pointed toward an unarmed teenager who was reportedly surrendering? Officially closed does not mean publicly explained. Content warning: This episode discusses a fatal police shooting, racial conflict, civil unrest, violence and medical tampering. Sources include: contemporary Associated Press coverage, the Lexington Herald-Leader, The Washington Post, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report Bias and Bigotry in Kentucky, Kentucky Attorney General decision 94-ORD-147, a Kentucky Court of Appeals decision, later Lexington news retrospectives and reporting concerning Phil Vogel’s later life.

    Keith Todd: From Police to Prison!!

    A comment section argument turned into something much bigger. After former Lexington Police officer Keith Todd began commenting on my Facebook posts and contacting me directly, I started digging through public records, court documents, and archived news reports. What I found was a timeline spanning years—from an off-duty alcohol and Ambien incident, to a federal lawsuit against Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, to the 2012 Legacy Trail case involving a seriously injured jogger, and publicly available Brady/Giglio records. In this episode, I separate documented facts from rumors, walk through the available records, and explain why transparency and accountability matter—especially when it involves someone who once wore a badge. Topics discussed include: Keith Todd's documented 2006 off-duty alcohol/Ambien incident.The federal Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuit against LFUCG.The court's 2009 ruling.The 2012 Legacy Trail incident.Public Brady/Giglio records.The social media exchange that led to this investigation.Why I filed additional Kentucky Open Records requests with the Lexington Police Department.This episode is based on publicly available court records, news reports, and official documents. Any allegations or claims not supported by public records are clearly identified as unverified and are not presented as fact.

    WTF Lex!?: Racism, One Lexington & Accountability

    This week, Ole Gerg returns after a short break with a no-holds-barred discussion about one of Lexington's most controversial topics. After being accused online of previously attacking One Lexington and its former leadership years before becoming involved in local media, Greg lays out why he believes those claims are demonstrably false and challenges anyone to produce evidence. The conversation expands into larger issues surrounding race, government-funded organizations, public accountability, transparency, and how political and social divisions affect Lexington. Greg also shares personal experiences that shaped his views on policing, poverty, and race, including encounters with the Lexington Police Department dating back more than two decades. Finally, the episode examines questions surrounding public grant funding, open records requests, and why government-funded organizations should expect public scrutiny. In This Episode Returning after a brief hiatusResponding to accusations regarding One LexingtonWhy accountability should apply to every government-funded organizationOpen records requests and the search for transparencyQuestions surrounding community grant fundingPersonal experiences with Lexington PoliceThoughts on racism, division, and public discourseUpcoming coverage of the Fayette County Public Schools leadership controversyRecent Lexington crashes and other local newsMentioned One LexingtonLFUCG Open RecordsLexington Police DepartmentFayette County Public SchoolsDemetrus LigginsNo Cap Grant ProgramListener Challenge Greg publicly challenges anyone to provide verifiable evidence supporting claims that he publicly attacked One Lexington or its leadership during 2021–2022.
